You are a big appreciator of birds, obviously. Are there any fairly obscure or weird birds you wish got more attention? (As in, not "weirdos trying to make them pets" attention, naturally.)
oh man there's some WACK birds out there not many people know about
Sungrebe: this bird has a pouch for its chicks in its armpits
the Tristan Thrush (same genus as your american robin) is endemic to the islands of Tristan da Cunha and predates on seabirds. they will eat albatross eggs, hunt petrel chicks, and even feed off the blood of penguins
everyone knows the dodo but not many know their cousin the lesser Rodrigues Solitaire. the top left drawing is the only known illustration based off an eyewitness and they had bony clubs on their wings for combat. this was sadly not effective against europeans.
The Magpie Goose is not a true goose, but an early offshoot of the Anseriformes that split off before the K-Pg extinction. they have a duck-like head but their feet are only partially webbed and they graze both on land and in water
Musk Ducks are widespread in southern australia and are named for the musky odor they produce during mating season, the males also grow a large wattle. musk ducks are the only duck known to mimic human speech, there’s a musk duck named ripper that’s been filmed mimicking several times but he’s best known for saying “you bloody fool”
Eurypygiformes is an entire order of birds only represented by two living species on opposite sides of the globe and are two of my favourite birds: the Central American Sunbittern and the Kagu of New Caledonia
Oilbirds are the only flying nocturnal bird that is primarily a frugivore, they’re called oilbirds because of their fatty chicks that used to be rendered for oil and they are one of the few birds to evolve echolocation
one of worst best genre of birds is “flabby neck phallus”, off the top of my head: Marabou Stork
Long-wattled Umbrellabird
Australian Bustard (photos don’t do them justice you need to see them on video)
hope this helps
pokemon blood and pokemon bone where you osmosis jones your way through some creature to discover microscopic pokemon
I’d had this thought back in gen 1 and because they already let you resurrect things from fossils I thought you should be able to enlarge microscopic pokemon into regular-size pokemon, or a special stone would let microscopic pokemon evolve into big ones. I included 3 ideas when I made up my own generation but I think if they ever did it the design should be algorithmically randomized so there’s really like a million possible protozoamons.
pokemon blood and pokemon bone, pokemon world of osmosis jones, tossing pokeballs in safari zone, catch a little pokemon type unknown, pokedex full of protozoa-mon, microscopic pokemon take the throne, pokemon blood and pokemon bone
Most of the dumber plot lines on the later seasons of Friends are clearly and directly related to the rock solid contract they were able to negotiate together that made it impossible for producers to pick off any one actor to be replaced by novel and more poorly paid cast member. Ross has to date Rachel again because their inspiring act of worker solidarity left the writers with a serious constraint that no main character can leave and no new main character can join the cast.
In perfect contrast, the more nonsensical plot lines in Teen Wolf are clearly and directly related to their shitty labor practices and tendency to fire actors/kill off main characters on a whim.
Okay, I'm adding a source because apparently people were not universally aware of Friends' role in Labor History nor Why Friends is Like That. Also, I didn't realize that they made this pact after Season 2, so Friends had these constraints almost the whole run:
1994 was the first season of Friends, and all six members were paid $22,500 per episode. However, as that initial season centered on the characters of Ross and Rachel — played by David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston — the duo became the main stars by the end of season one. When contract negotiation time came for season two, the two received a pay rise to $40,000 per episode. This was more than the remaining four main actors were paid.
By the end of season two, Schwimmer was being offered lucrative movie deals, and his agents once again renegotiated his ‘Friends’ contract. This time Schwimmer came up with the selfless idea of getting his costars to form a mini-union of sorts and demand the six to be paid equally. It was a decision that would cost both Schwimmer and Aniston in the short term but had the potential to pay off long term.
However, by doing so, it would give the group of six control of the negotiations. Previously the show’s producers could easily drop one of the actors and write their character out of the show if contract negotiations for that individual stalled. Under this new tactic, the studio couldn't write all six at once as it would kill the show. It was all or none.
So, I do love this little essay about Pizza and Loneliness on Friends, I think it's missing that this whole "your friends from your 20s will be your friends forever and there will always be pizza and you will never be lonely" fantasy is downstream from the cast's labor negotiations.
Whereas every weird plot twist on Teen Wolf is downstream of an actor either being fired on a whim or quitting based on the assumption they'd be fired on a whim.

🎶“OOOooohhh! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?”🎶
Aw, ain’t she a doll? Ready for action!
Yellow Boxy Girl repaint, clothes and jewelry made by me. Shoes and hairbow came with the doll, I just painted the shoes black. Not sure how obvious it is, but her earrings are meant to be jellyfish, and her bracelet a string of bubbles.
I unironically love her.
